I'm a nature loving California native whose work blends depth psychology with nervous system healing, helping people move beyond simply coping and into a more authentic relationship with themselves. I have experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, anxiety, identity exploration, and major life transitions using body-based approaches. My clients are thoughtful, introspective, and feeling-types including Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), who are ready to explore themselves with curiosity, honesty, and compassion.
For the past year, I've worked with adults facing serious mental health challenges at one of Los Angeles's largest public health systems, and what I've learned is that lasting change comes from relationships built on trust. Now I'm bringing that experience into private practice, where I can focus on what matters most: your individual progress. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I offer flexible evening and weekend availability via telehealth throughout California. As a PMHNP, I'm here to support your whole mental health journey.
As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering to individuals of all ages. I have 8 years of experience in the field in working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating through depression, anxiety, and everyday life stressors. I am passionate about supporting individuals through my multi-modal therapeutic approach which integrates CBT and solution-focused, reality-based strategies to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and meaningful change.
I’m a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with clients across the lifespan. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Arizona and have experience caring for individuals in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and higher-acuity mental health settings. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, OCD, mood disorders, and substance use. I take a thoughtful, practical, and individualized approach to care, with the goal of helping clients feel understood, safe, supported, and comfortable being honest when feeling emotionally vulnerable.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Nevada City, CA
Searching for therapists in Nevada City starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. Therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and work with people who share your goals.
In a smaller community like Nevada City, the number of local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Nearby areas such as Grass Valley may offer additional choices, and virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their session style feels like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what to expect and decide who may be the right match.
Therapy in Nevada City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and seeing an estimate before you book can make the next step clearer. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific location and see providers who are accepting new patients. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
